Does eating werefoo corpses give lycantropy

nethack

A wererat just died at my sword, failing to transmit its disease to me. However, it also left a corpse for me to eat. I'm hungry. My pet drags it to me, bad sign, but then again it does so for lichen corpses too and they're perfectly safe to eat.

Is it safe to eat?

Best Answer

No, it is not safe to eat. It will give you lycanthropy. Also, if you are human, it is considered cannibalism.
